<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>

Ant is the de facto Java build tool. What is Ant and how do I use it effectively? These questions, and more, will be answered during the first half of the presentation. Topics covered: Ant's datatypes, properties, and integrated unit testing. The second half of the presentation will introduce XDoclet, an extensible Javadoc @tag templating engine. Using XDoclet can save large amounts of time by generating the mundane, previously hand-maintained, artifacts such as EJB code, deployment descriptors and more.</p>
